Singer/songwriter Bob Seger has postponed the remaining 19 dates of his US tour on doctor’s orders.

A statement on the singer’s website reads, “Bob Seger announced today that he will have to postpone upcoming tour dates upon receiving his doctor’s orders to attend to an urgent medical issue concerning his vertebrae. No further details are available at this time.”

“I’m so disappointed to have to suspend the tour as the band is on a great roll,” says Seger. “It’s a privilege to play for our amazing fans. Hoping to be back out on the road very soon.”

Rescheduled dates will be announced in due course, while tickets purchased for the postponed shows will be valid at the rearranged dates.

Earlier this month, Seger released a cover version of Lou Reed’s Busload Of Faith, which is taken from upcoming album I Knew You When. The album is released on November 17, the date the Runaway Train tour was due to finish in Chicago.
